What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’m a bit of a noob, but a lot of chatter on the wheel thread about FN Wheels and Dustin’s customer service. Well, I just received my glossy metallic gray FN Wheels today! All 3 colors are in as of last week. They apparently go fast. Super happy with Dustin’s customer service, fast shipping, and inspected them all and the lugs I got with them. Everything looks good, waiting to mount them! Replacing my 18’ Sport TRD wheels.

 

Yes!! Greatest thing I've seen all day!! I got soo much sh*t for this exact thing in 2017!! You get it!!! Only took 4 years but someone else is on my level of blackout / chrome delete OCD. I was taking my visors off to blackout the warning stickers and as I was putting them back on I thought... wait a minute. Not on my watch! Found 4 of the same black screws and today I feel like a proud father. Tip of the cap to you buddy!!

 

Spent some time in the garage wrenching the week away. One bolt at time.

 

What gearing did you go with?

 

Rotated tires, took my fuel tank skid off so Toyota doesnt whine about it when they do the fuel pump tomorrow, added some pods to the bumper, greased everything

 

Added some Fox 2.5 DSC Coilovers courtesy of Accutune, along with some Icon RXT leafs. Got just under 3” over stock and can finally handle the weight of the SSO full plate bumper and winch! RTT is next!

 

Out of curiosity how long ago did you order the fox dsc coilovers? I ordered my lift in early April and still waiting! Being told waiting for dsc coilovers and everything else is in stock.

 

Had to figure something out, so the pregnant wife could get in the truck. Quick diy step add to the high angle sliders.

 

Ordered 4/7 and arrived today. Rear shocks are still inbound, about 1-2 weeks behind the coil-overs. The guys at Accutune have been awesome about keeping me updated and putting up with my pestering.

 

I’ve seen several reports of the aftermarket ones being a little difficult to install, including a guy on a YouTube video. Those racks do look good, though.

 

Looks extremely dangerous to me with them not being rigid. Be careful.

 

I think I would just put a step stool in the bed and set it up for her each time she had to get in and out of the truck. You are a lucky man to have a wife that is willing to use those steps.

 

Was this “pregnant wife approved”? Word of warning - it wasn’t. Even if she said it was “fine”, tread lightly, my friend. I have learned this from many pregnancies and many “creative solutions”.

 

Ha no way. I ordered my kit on 4/7 as well. Hopefully mine are coming soon!
I’ve been pestering the crap out of guy at trails end also!

 

I’m out of screws but the specs are
M5-0.8 x 20mm Flat Head

Maybe someone would get another box and do the same

 

Come on guys....*would have. Have! Not of. Where did you all go to school?

 

Approved no. Tolerate yes. Going to add a foot board just need to cut the stainless and bolt it on. She gets in my truck few times a month. She knows I hate her rogue so she giving me a pass I think. I work long hard hours make good money which allows her to stay at home with our first and one to be. That also gives me some wiggle room. Going to keep working on getting that approval.

 

It is the color.
According to research results, white color attracting most insects. Including ticks, mosquitos e.t.c. So, for personal safety, avoid light colour (white)
outerwear while camping in May-June (!) especially. Insects on white truck is just a irritating fact.
Stay safe!

 

Nah these are fake sliders lol, I'm 99% highway so I really don't need real sliders. I got em for my wife and son. (and to wash/dry the top of the roof )

They're "Topline" Nerf bars/Running boards that I bought off of Amazon, but unfortunately they've been unavailable for awhile now. Not bad so far for $300...
